    This is very sad news. I was lucky enough to run into Tom just a few weeks ago with JimV up at the Bass Pro Shops cruise night ( we talked for a several minutes, catching up ) and especially considering what the future held for him, I'm very glad I did. Tom was a very nice guy from what I knew of him and he ALWAYS had that smile on his face.

    Godspeed Tom and to Mark please accept my deepest sympathies. Mike

    Mark, my very best goes out to you and your family.
    I am one of the many people that will truly miss your father.
    I see in the Ty-Rods post that you'll be ther in your fathers car, I'll be looking for you.
    Hang in there, bud.

    Tom and I go back to 1960. We had many great times searching for parts in junkyards and just talking about our cars. It just won't be the same without his presence at our monthly garage gathering. He was truely one of the best guys I've ever known.

    I was fortunate enough to meet you and your dad at the Ty-Rods Reunion last year.
    My condolences.
    Like others have said, I miss my father every day and he's been gone since 1978.

    Its always tough but it sounds like you and your dad had a great relationship. My dad and I were never very close. I'm sad for you but, also a bit envious. My best to your family.
     
  30. ditto indeed.
